COUPLE
Meghan and
Chris Winton, Central
Massachusetts offered
the ideal location for the fall wedding
of their dreams. A native of the region,
Chris's local connection drew them to
the rolling hills of Sterling for their Oc-
tober celebration. Peak foliage was the
stunning backdrop of a day infused with
relaxed elegance, a seasonal palette of
maroon, pink, and terracotta florals and
details, and meaningful moments just
for them.
HOW WE MET
We met at the gym!
THE PROPOSAL
Meghan's favorite time of year is the
holiday season, so Chris treated her to
a Christmas light show at a winery. The
magic of Christmas began to fade after
two hours of walking around in circles
in the frigid temperatures, however. It
turns out, Chris was waiting for the right
moment to propose! Meghan shares that
it was "perfect" and passersby were hap-
py to take photos.
THE WEDDING DAY
For Chris, the wedding day was made
perfect by the beautiful bride. Meghan
added to that sentiment that the pro-
fessionalism and organization of their
vendors made it so they didn't have to
worry about anything and just soak up
the joy of the day. The weather was per-
fect, and the company was even better.
Meghan and Chris both got ready at The
Chocksett Inn, and all the day's events
took place there, making it easy for pho-
tographer Alicia Petitti to capture every
moment from start to finish.
SPECIAL TOUCHES
We chose to do a first look and pri-
vate vows before the ceremony, and we
exchanged wedding gifts at that time,
too. "It was a heartfelt moment between
the two of us before we were swept up in
the excitement of the day," says Meghan.
Then, we enjoyed a private cocktail hour
with just our families and wedding par-
ty directly following the ceremony out-
side, before joining the large cocktail
party inside. And we were even able to
make our cats, Maui and Cleo, part of
the festivities by naming our signature
cocktails after them!
MOMENT WE'LL ALWAYS TREASURE
It was our private first look, for both
of us. The only other person present was
our photographer. n

Meghan shares that "Ali made us
feel comfortable and confident and
her photos are amazing. She is
extremely timely and organized,
which saved me a lot of stress! On
the day of the wedding, I knew I
didn't have to think of anything –
she had it covered!"
